Abstract

We modified the molecular structure of urethane acrylate oligomer by varying raw materials. Also fluorination of the host polymer matrices has been found to influence the morphological and the electrooptical properties of the resulting HPDLC grating. The incorporation of fluorinated monomers in HPDLC formulation enhance the LC phase separation and improved elctro-optical properties.
